OpenTTD is an open source port of the Chris Sawyer game Transport Tycoon Deluxe to C using a disassembly of the original game binaries.[citation needed] Originally closed source, the conversion process from assembly language to C was performed single handedly by Ludvig Strigeus between mid-2002 and March 2004, with the help of Interactive Disassembler.[citation needed]

OpenTTD duplicates the original game feature-wise but also has numerous additions, including canals, revised rail station construction and additional airports. Perhaps the most significant feature compared to the original game is its multiplayer capability. It offers LAN and Internet play via public, world-wide servers for up to ten players.

It incorporates many features from TTDPatch, and like TTDPatch it is available under the GPL. Both OpenTTD and TTDPatch are not totally standalone games — while OpenTTD does not need the Transport Tycoon Deluxe executables, it does need the game graphics files. However, there is currently an effort to devise a new graphics standard (and new graphics) to eliminate this need, for legal reasons.

The game's legality has been questioned by some, since it is designed specifically to replicate another game. [1]

Due to its use of the SDL cross-platform graphics and sound layer, it may be compiled and run on many different operating systems. This includes:[2]
